THE THREE
Sommeliers
Alexandre Dumas might have his three musketeers, but
right here at your home away from home, we have our
three sommeliers for all your vino needs!
Introducing Associate Sommelier
Lei Dong
from The 2
nd
Floor, who is well-known in the local circle of wine students
and educators for his passion of less-discovered wines.
Although young in age, he more than makes up for it with
his experience. The wine enthusiast was awarded second
place in the 2015 edition of the Wine Specialist challenge
and is also an elusive French Wine scholar.
Those who frequent HOME will find
Samuel
a familiar sight.
A true veteran in all senses, Samuel has worked in top
restaurants all over Asia, including Hong Kong, Shanghai
and Singapore. His numerous certificates aside, the wine
enthusiast is eager to share his love and in-depth knowledge
of wine regions and styles. He is particularly well-versed in
how best to pair your delicious home-cooked or catered
food with exquisite wine!
Last but not least,
Alvin
, The Club’s Senior Beverage Director
started his wonderful journey into the world of wine from
his immense passion and love for all things alcohol. The
only Singaporean to hold the Advanced Sommelier title,
Alvin has represented the country in both the World's Best
Sommelier and Asia’s Best Sommelier competitions.
Come chat with our passionate sommeliers about your next
B.B.Q wine pairing or bash! Let us solve your headache on
which wines go best with a slab of juicy steak or a tender
piece of grilled salmon. Or if you have been searching for
a particular bottle of wine, let us know and we can source
it for you!
